Introduction

Whorld is a free, open-source visualizer for sacred geometry. It uses math to create a seamless animation of mesmerizing psychedelic images. You can VJ with it, make unique digital artwork with it, or sit back and watch it like a screensaver.

Whorld's visualization is controlled via parameters which can be adjusted manually, or modulated by oscillators. A given setting of the parameters and their oscillators form a patch. You can use the demo patches, or create your own.

Patches can be grouped together in a playlist. You can play patches manually, or Whorld can autoplay them for you. Whorld also includes a crossfader, which allows you to interpolate between two patches.

Whorld is optimized for performing. All of its functions can be accessed in full-screen mode, via shortcut keys, mouse or trackball, or MIDI controllers. Whorld can be synchronized to music, using tap tempo, or MIDI clocks.

Still frames can be captured as snapshots, printed, or exported as bitmaps. Whorld can also record movies, and export them as AVI files or numbered bitmaps.
